Try setting the paper type to Premium Luster, Photo black ink.

Maybe Michael is thinking Epson Printer.
I to am interested in settings to choose for this paper on Z3100.

I had this trouble too.  If you register and email address with Ilford, you can download their premade profiles for the various printers here:

http://www.ilford.com/profiles/index_en.asp?type=profile

I did this, even though I made a custom profile myself.  Anyways, when you download the file it comes with a PDF that tells what settings to choose.

The settings you should use is Fine Art Pearl Paper More Ink

thanks Eli,

I am trying this as I write this.

I have tried a couple of different settings, worst one so far has been Prof Satin paper, it made the 44" roll warble and the paper would hit the print head, which would result in lines on the parts that was bulking up :-( not very pleased.

anyway I am giving it another try and have also in the mean time gotten the HP Prof Satin paper which is very nice and a bit more durable then the Ilford paper.

I find that the Ilford paper scratches very easily, which is not good if the client is framing themselves.

Just to clarify, I have used the Fine Art Pearl Paper More Ink, but have chosen not to use the Gloss Enhancer....do you think this will be a problem?

Thanks
